Chamber music recordings
Marie-Laure Garnier, Célia Oneto Bensaid and the Hanson quartet have imagined a program articulated around the theme of nostalgic love. Starting with Ernest
Chausson’s Poème de l’amour et de la mer arranged for voice, string quartet and piano, they draw the thread of passion alternately joyful and melancholic in La Bonne Chanson by Gabriel Fauré and Les Chants nostalgiques by Charlotte Sohy, recorded for the first time in this formation. They give their name to this new b•records disc under the sign of symbolism, grace and emotion. The disc released in January 2023 is the choice of France Musique.
Forming for several years a hard-hitting duo on stage, Marie-Laure Garnier and Célia Oneto Bensaid record a first album for NoMadMusic. An ingenious mix between the works of Olivier Messiaen, Francis Poulenc and Negro-spirituals, this record sings the sacred and hope to celebrate a mixed society, rich in its multiple culture.

The Walker of Lovers
Throughout the year, the Abbey of Royaumont in partnership with the Musée d’Orsay welcomes young duets who, alongside undisputed masters of lied and melody (Véronique Gens, Stéphane Degout etc.), forge their musical complicity. Thanks to this fruitful alliance between two friendly institutions, beautiful combinations between music and visual arts are played. B Records invites you, by inaugurating this new collection, to capture the friendship between spirits, geniuses, and the arts, with a first disc that will lead you blithely from Schumann to Ravel, from the most languorous German romanticism to French poetry the more pungent.
